Organization of RDA
• Tab marked RDA = the RDA instructions
• Tab marked Tools = mappings, workflows,
schemas
• Tab marked Resources = other resources:
AACR2, LC-PCC Policy Statements
41
Organization of RDA
• Introduction
• Recording attributes of the FRBR entities
– Chapters 1-7: Group 1 entities (WEMI)
– Chapters 8-11: Group 2 entities (PFC)
– Chapters 12-16: Group 3 entities (COEP)
• Recording relationships (Chapters 17-32)
• Appendixes
– Abbreviation
– Capitalization
– Relationship designators
• Glossary
• Index
42
Organization of RDA (Introduction)
• Chapter 0
• Core elements: 0.6
• Internationalization: 0.11
43
Internationalization
• 0.11.2. Some elements are to be transcribed
as they appear (see RDA 1.4). “Other elements
are generally recorded in the language and
script preferred by the agency creating the
data.”
• Instructions calling for a controlled list in
English may be modified to reflect the
language of the agency.
44
Organization of RDA (Attributes)
• Section 1 (Ch. 1-4) = Manifestation & Item
• Section 2 (Ch. 5-7) = Work & Expression
• Section 3 (Ch. 8-11) = Person, Family, &
Corporate Body
• Section 4 (Ch. 12-16) = Concept, Object, Event,
& Place
45
Structure of the Attributes Chapters
• Structure of “attributes” chapters in RDA
– Purpose and scope
– General guidelines, including allowed sources
– Guidelines for specific attributes
– Guidelines for constructing access points (called
“headings” in AACR2)

Exercise Answers: Using the RDA Toolkit
• Find the instruction for creating a
contents note
– Try Quick Search Box
– Try Advanced Search and include LC-PCC PS
– What worked best?
• Advanced Search, including the LC-PCC PS, works
best because RDA does not use the term
“contents note”
• RDA 25.1.1.3, Recording Relationships to Related
Works + LC-PCC PS
